Pick 1: Both Teams to Score – Yes
Pick 2: Over 9.5 Total Corners
Reasoning
Newcastle present a solid upper-mid-table profile. Their FotMob rating is 6.88 (9th), with 1.3 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per match, giving an average of roughly 2.5 total goals in their games. Behind this output lies 17.3 xG (10th), 4.1 shots on target per game (10th), 30 big chances and 20 missed big chances – good volume, occasionally wasteful finishing. With 308 touches in the opposition box and 72 corners (6th), they clearly spend a lot of time attacking in the final third.
Tottenham bring slightly stronger scoring numbers: 1.6 goals per match (4th) and 1.2 conceded, so their matches average about 2.8 goals. Interestingly, their xG is only 12.0 (16th), meaning they somewhat outperform the underlying chance quality. With 3.2 shots on target per game (16th), 23 big chances and 13 misses, they look more like a team that makes their chances count rather than generating huge volume. However, their 76 corners (4th) and 301 touches in the opposition box show that they can apply sustained attacking pressure.
Defensively, both sides sit in a similar band: 1.2 goals conceded per match each, with xG conceded of 14.9 for Newcastle and 17.6 for Spurs – not elite, not poor, but clearly not shut-down defenses. Newcastle’s 3.2 saves per match and Tottenham’s 3.0 indicate that both keepers are being called into action regularly, which fits a match with chances at both ends.
In terms of possession and control, Tottenham hold a slight edge: 53.6% average possession (6th) compared to Newcastle’s 49.7% (12th). This is not a classic “deep block vs heavy possession” matchup; rather, it’s two proactive sides, with Spurs leaning more on ball control and Newcastle very effective in transitions and wide play (4.7 accurate crosses per match, 5th).
The BTTS angle is strongly supported by:
-
Newcastle games averaging ~2.5 goals (1.3 scored, 1.2 conceded).
-
Spurs games averaging ~2.8 goals (1.6 scored, 1.2 conceded).
-
Both teams consistently scoring over 1 goal per game while not boasting elite defensive numbers.
The Over 9.5 Corners angle is underpinned by:
-
Newcastle: 72 corners (6th in the league).
-
Tottenham: 76 corners (4th).
-
Both clubs over 300 touches in the opposition box, meaning frequent entries, crosses, blocks and deflections that naturally generate corners.
From these metrics, the most probable game pattern is: open, chance-rich football on both ends, with neither defense perfectly controlling the opponent and both attacks having enough quality to break through. That’s exactly the environment where Both Teams to Score and Over 9.5 Corners can land together without any logical contradiction.
